Yokai of the Week - Kamikiri

Kamikiri are spirits that sneak up on people and cut off their hair (kamikiri literally translates to "hair-cut"). They are depicted as having scissor-like claws and a bird-like beak which they use to snip the hair of their victim. They tend to target people while they are in the bathroom. They are the barbers of the yokai world.
